How to get the look – Moroccan-style stencilling


Create with paint! Projects from habitat by Resene

Bring a piece of Morocco into your home with this easy pattern DIY. We used it to pretty up a vintage cabinet.

Stencil a cabinet

You will need: Cabinet that allows you to place plywood at the back, cake stencil with Moroccan-style pattern, plywood sheet to fit into the back of the cabinet, roller and tray, Resene testpots in your choice of colours: we used Resene Alabaster and Resene Half Delta.

Top tip: For a little extra sparkle, use Resene FX Metallic for your topcoat colour. This effect could also work well on display pieces such as bookshelves, and on tabletops.
